《Elian's Grimoire》Chapter I - Adventure Awaits (Part IV)
Advertisement
El and Kit continues their merry drinking and even participated in the group singing in the tavern with the workers and some adventurers. The time passes on and the people are going home one by one leaving a handful of regulars in their deep drinking. “I think we need to go home too Kit; you are too drunk" El said but Kit only moves his arms up, he too is drunk, and he can't even speak a single word. El helps Kit get up and leaves their payment at the table and exits the tavern. El tries to carry Kit as far as he could but he is not built for it and decided to stop at a bench and put Kit on top of it as he takes his breath back. "You are too heavy for me Kit, c'mon get up" El complained. Kit only mutters inaudible sounds frustrating El even further, then he decided to just use a spell but like what he did with the Familiar spell he is only doing it as a ritual casting, he is too prudent in using magic. By using ritual casting, El can use the magical essence of a certain item to compensate the needed magic instead of having an effort to pull magic into the spell he is about to cast. El pulls out again a piece of charcoal and draws a magic circle, after completing the circle he then drops a small amount of mercury and the spell is casted. A circular yet horizontal plane created from the small amount of mercury giving it a silvery color. The disk floats as if it has been held by somebody. El struggles to put Kit into the floating disk but eventually succeeds. He then guides the floating disk with Kit in it into his home. Some people gave him a weird look, but he eventually reaches the house where Kit and his adopted father Sir Wilhelm Proudmoore lives. El knocks on the door a few times, then the doors opened and there stands a tall intimidating figure who appear to be wearing a sleeping attire with a mug of a hot beverage.
"Good evening young lord, looks like Kit gave you trouble again" Sir Wilhelm said with a troubled look. "Good evening to you too Sir, don't worry about it sir, Kit's a friend after all" El explained. "Do you want to come inside for a warm drink?" Sir Wilhelm said as he takes Kit from the floating disk. "No thank you, I appreciate the offer but I also need to go home they might send the cavalry if I don't go back now hahaha" El joked. “Take care then and be careful, good night young lord" Sir Wilhelm replied waving his hand to El. "Thank you, good night as well" El said.

Kit was awakened by the bright sultry sunlight that has now entered his room illuminating it. Kit then is greeted by the maid, giving him a bowl of clean water and a small towel, the maid also helps him in choosing and changing his clothes for their daily family breakfast. Thereafter, Kit proceeds to the dining table for breakfast, he is greeted by Sir Wilhelm already seated at the table eating breakfast. The food is not grand yet not too shabby as well. Kit sits at the chair adjacent to his adopted father and begins to drink a fruit juice trying to cure his hang-over of yesterday’s drink. “Drinking late again are we? You know I will not prevent you from doing that because I know you’re young but please don’t drag the young lord into your debauchery” Sir Wilhelm said continuing his eating. “Sorry, not gonna happen again” Kit replied. “So how was your mission?” Sir Wilhelm said quickly changing the topic. “Another spying for the merchant I presume” He added. “You already know, same old same old, got to pay a lot this time though” Kit replied trying to be more proper in dinning. “Good” Sir Wilhelm uttered. The two continued this silent awkward breakfast until Sir Wilhelm finished his food. “I’m going to train in the courtyard, if you’re not busy join me” Sir Wilhelm said. “Yes Si.. Father.” Kit said.
After Kit finished his breakfast he swiftly headed back to his room to sleep and rest his throbbing headache. As Kit is enjoying his restful slumber, out of nowhere he hears a voice. "Kit wake up!" the voice said. "huh? El?" Kit replied trying to adjust his vision. "C'mon get up" El said shaking Kit’s sleeping body. "What? What’s happening? Why are you packing up my stuff?" Kit replied trying to understand what’s happening. "We are going to an adventure to find the Elian's Grimoire" El said nonchalantly. "Ha? Are you still drunk? What the fuck are you talking about?" Kit said clearly pissed. "Enough talking just gets dress and I’ll tell you the details later" El said as he continues to pack Kit’s things. Kit confusedly gets up from his bed and begins dressing up. He wears clothes that were given to him by El. It's his mission gear which makes him more confused than ever. After getting dressed he sits beside his bed and watches his friend pack up his things into a small, definitely magical bag. The bag engulfs even his tent which only adds to his confused, not yet awake mind.

"Sorry to bother you, but can you explain now? Coz your making my head hurt" Kit said. After putting the last item into his bag, El stops and sits beside Kit to fix his hair then his clothes then he looks into Kit's eyes. “I decided to go on an adventure to find the artefact and I would like you to join me" El explains. “Bullshit” Kit replied. With a heavy sigh El looks at the window of Kit's room and then proceeded to kneel in front of Kit holding his hand and says, "I’m begging you please go with me! I can't survive on my own please! I'll do everything!" El said trying to look desperate. Kit helped El stand up then fixed El's clothes and sat down again at his bed. “Ok you are freaking me out! First no lying you’re a terrible liar and second explain properly it's too early, I just woke up I can't understand what is happening and I’m still having a headache because of yesterday” Kit said. Ok, here we go, yesterda-“El trying to explain. “I'll stop you right there, small and precise no need for the whole story” Kit interrupts El. “Sorry, ok *sigh I’m engaged and running away, and I decided to go on an adventure with you instead.” El explains. “What?!” Kit yelled. “You said small and precise?” El answered. “Yes but not that small! Anyway, fine I’ll go with you on an adventure but if you got caught you will not say anything about me going with you? Got it” Kit said. “So are you saying I will go out first and pretend that I ran away with myself.” El replied trying to understand Kit. “Exactly! Gods! I love that you are smart” Kit said. “Ok so how do we do it?” El replied as he gets up off the bed. “Wait so you don't have any plans at all?” Kit said still disordered. “I have but I assume you take over coz you know, you are knowledgeable with this kinda thing” El said casually. “First of all, knowledgeable? Of running away? I'm offended; second I thought you are smart? But fine I'll think” Kit yelled."What? I mean, it is you who is knowledgeable in terms of adventuring but do think please” El further explains.
They sat for hours thinking of a plan to get out of the city without being seen but it seems impossible since Dragon's End is the most secure place in the continent of Osloris. The two finally decided to split up, El will go outside the normal way since it is impossible to hide him given his status while Kit will find a way to get out of the city with minimum sight that will recognize him. After long hours of discussion the sun is now at its peak when El reaches the gate of the Outer Wall and hurriedly goes to their designated meeting place, to El’s surprise Kit is already there waiting for him with two horses ready to go. “That was quick, how did you do it?” El said. “A magician never reveals his secret” Kit replied humorously “Let me remind you that I am the wizard here, anyway where to now?” El said. “Why am I the one who’s going to decide where to go, it’s your idea isn’t?” Kit retorted. “I mean we need a place to plan this carefully do you have any idea where?” El queries. “Oh ok, I have got one in mind” Kit answered. “Lead the way then” El responded.

Allister Hale's Story Graveyard.
You've tried to write a story yes? So have I, Many times. I get a good vibe going, type a few pages worth of content then reach the point it gets the tiniest bit hard. Thing is, some of those stories are good, the kind of good that gets people excited and then disapointed when they cut off abruptly and without warning before fifteen chapters. So content Warning, none of theese little stories come to any kind of conclusion. A couple are just different attempts at the same idea (some with the same characters no less)They are also raw and uneddited, and no i wont be fixing them.I don't think any of them deserve any additional content warnings, as I'm not interested in writting those sorts of stories, but please read with caution.

Uneasy Dreams
A collection of short stories, probably macabre in nature, and hopefully cathartic to read. There is no connecting thread tying them together, so feel free to skip around and read whatever sounds interesting. Also, each one is named after the song I happened to be listening to when I came up with them.
